A sentence of one year and eight
months for the former prefect of Pescara for the January 2017
Rigopiano disaster that killed 29 people became definitive
Tuesday after a final ruling by the supreme Court of Cassation.
The official, Francesco Provolo, got his definitive but
suspended sentence in the Rigopiano massacre where on 18 January
2017 29 people died in the Abruzzo mountain village due to an
avalanche that overwhelmed a hotel.
Provolo was found guilty of refusal to perform official duties
and forgery.
A second appeal was ordered, instead, for six people, all
managers of the Abruzzo Region at the time of the events, who
had been acquitted in the two previous levels of judgment.
